No need to kill them! You could always wait until the wasps have moved on, and destroy the empty nest then. Before meta lon knew what was making the noise, he obviously wasn't bothered by the wasps.

Well me wnd the OP will just have to live with our conciences....

Ah but would @Vegan1 keep em as pets or would he eradicate them, that's the big question.

Of course. It just interests me that bees are considered cute, and the fact that they are under threat is bemoaned, but wasps that do similar stuff in the way of pollenation and scavenging are evil and should be wiped out. Bees buy their public image with honey (unless you're a strict vegan of course ). Species are interconnected in the world ecosystem, aren't they.

I wouldn't fancy one of these in my attic,

Indeed..
But they were bothering us ..as the nest was above our bed and keeping us awake..
The other nests had entry points near windows..

I love spiders and save them from her where ever possible

Agree, but bees don't constantly harass you and the kids when playing or earing in the garden and rarely sting.

I had one virtually that size hence the stealthy night sttack!
I just puff insect powder around the entrance and that does the trick without alarming them.

From my point of view I'm allergic, a sting will put put me in A & E so I'm not a fan.

Been outside cleaning the car, the lavender hedge down the side of our front path is buzzing with insects.

 

[Gravity Aided]

The only thing I've actually seen wasps pollinate are thistles. It's a confederacy of pests, I tell you.

The commentators were a bit confused as to why they used an actual safety car instead of a virtual one which would have maintained the gaps and less accidents.

It was done to increase the entertainment factor. It's an old one and rather common in motorsport.

A shrewd move to wake you up.


Yes, I do play too much on-line scramble.

Just got the old faithful camera out whilst my new one was charging up, felt really weird going back to the compact, never thought I'd be saying that so soon.

You've not bought a new camera have you? you should have said.
